the 'saved' message appeared and was announced, without moving focus away from what the user was doing.

Live region

Also calledaria-live, status role, alert role

A container marked `aria-live` whose changes are announced without the user going to look. It is how asynchronous feedback — validation errors, save confirmations, search result counts — reaches someone who cannot see it appear. The region must exist in the DOM before the content changes, and `assertive` interrupts whatever is being read, so almost everything should be `polite`.
